This is a miracle attributed to the apostles in Acts chapter 2, after the Holy Spirit descended on the apostles like tongues of fire. How it came about is uncertain, since the entire eastern Mediterranean region spoke Greek, apart from the Palestinian Jews, and no one should have been especially surprised to hear the apostles speaking Greek.
